Carissima Elgar IKISCH and Landon Ronald have shown their delight in the artistic perfection of " His Master'sN Voice " Gramophone by conducting great orchestras in our recording laboratories. Now we add the name of Elgar-a name synonymous in English minds with all that is best in modern composing and conducting. And it is both as conductor and composer that we present this dis- tinguished artist in this notable new record. All England has been talking about his newest work, " Carissima. " As befits its title, " Dearest One," this charming composition breathes throughout the spirit of true love which, for once, runs smoothly. The rich sonorous melodies have a measured flow which captivates the ear from the opening bar. Fascinating is the phrase, constantly recurrin g-ýý Cantadil=ý- I i-ýI ý- a-- - fir -i 0 Impressive harmonies lead up to a happy passage triumphantly rendered by the full strength of the orchestra. Throughout we feel the master-hand controlling the performance-not a phrase, not a note but is played exactly as its author conceived it. The tone and general ensemble of this delightful record are remarkable even in these days of perfect orchestral records such as have made music-lovers take " His Master's Voice " Gramophone so closely to their hearts. Sir Edward Elgar photographed in the Recording Room while conducting " Carissima" A record worthy of the international, reputation of Sir Edward Elgar-a record that will appeal to every lover of music.

    THE GILBERT AND SULLIVAN OPERETTAS ON 78s: COMPLETE SETS AND ABRIDGEMENTS, 1906. 1950 John W. N. Francis In 1877 Richard D'Oyly Carte commissioned Gilbert and Sullivan to write The Sorcerer, and organized an ensemble of singer-actors to perform the new piece under the author's artistic direction. Also in 1877, of course, Charles Cros and Thomas Edison invented sound recording. More than a century later both the music and the medium continue to flourish, and indeed they have come together often and success­ fully--notably in the many complete versions by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, which have set standards of style and ensemble for generations of devotees and amateur performers. This discography documents the complete recordings of the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas made at 78 rpm, not only by the D'Oyly Carte company or under its aegis, but also by others with lesser claims to authenticity. Also included are substantial abridgements and sets of excerpts--groups of five or more sides made at essentially the same time and place and with the same performers, whether or not they were ever issued collectively or with consecutive numbering. The following comments set the recordings in the context of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company's history. THE ACOUSTIC RECORDINGS When Richard D'Oyly Carte died in 1901, his widow Helen assumed manage­ ment of the businesses he had built, including the Savoy Theatre in London and the opera company, which was then on tour. In 1906 she brought the troupe back to the Savoy for a repertory season of Gilbert and Sullivan, its very first.

According to the Chicago Tribune, Marston’s name is ‘synonymous with tender Richard loving care to collectors of historical CDs’. Opera News calls his work ‘revelatory’, and Fanfare deems him ‘miraculous’. In 1996 Ward Marston received the Gramophone award for Historical Vocal Recording of the Year, WAGNER honouring his production and engineering work on Romophone’s complete recordings of Lucrezia Bori. He also (1818-1892) served as re-recording engineer for the Franklin Mint’s Arturo Toscanini issue and BMG’s Sergey Rachmaninov recordings, both winners of the Best Historical Album Grammy. Born blind in 1952, Ward Marston has amassed tens of thousands of opera classical records over the past four Tristan und Isolde decades. Following a stint in radio while a student at Williams College, he became well-known as a reissue producer in 1979, when he restored the earliest known stereo recording made by the Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1932. Opera in three acts, 1865 In the past, Ward Marston has produced records for a number of major and specialist record companies.

NEW SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA (conducted by LANDON RONALD) 12-inch Record, 5s. 6d. 0850 "William Tell" Overture-Opening nREFACING our analytical r' notes, we must observe at once that the record under review is one of the most lovely, soul-satisfying achievements on The story of Tell, the patriot who was chief instrument of the revolution which delivered the Swiss cantons from the German yoke in 1207, was taken by Rossini for the theme of one of his best-known operas, the dramatic interest b e i n g heightened by the introduction of love scenes and other episodes. The overture, played probably as often as any other single work at concerts the world over, was called by Berlioz a symphony in four parts. It is a fitting prelude to a noble work and abounds in beautiful contrasts.The opening Andante depicts the serene solitude of Nature at dawn. From the slowly-climbing figure on the 'cello Andante. -ý-ý--ý- ._-- > ý -?ý-ý ºrý-I-- ---ý- -ý --ýý--i-ý-"-+-- , - " the music is enchantingly reposeful. The wayward, elusive air resolves after a time into a more definite rhythmic tune, which soon lapses into dreamy meditation. This is short-lived, however, for the measured flow is resumed until the blissful termination of this andante comes along to throw the witchery of its spell over the fortunate hearer. The full beauty of the orchestra can be admired, albeit the movement almost amounts to a ravishing 'cello solo with orchestral background.

For collectors searching top copies, you’ve come to the right place! The further we get from the era of production (in many cases now 100 years or more), the more difficult it is to find such excellent extant pressings. Some are actually from mint dealer stocks acquired years ago and others the result of having improved copies in my own collection (which is gradually being listed) via dozens of collections purchased over the past fifty years. * * * For those looking for the best sound via modern reproduction, those records marked “late” are usually of high quality shellac, pressed in the 1950-55 period. A number of items in this catalogue are excellent pressings from that era. Also featured are many “Z” shellac Victors, their best surface material (produced in the later 1930s) and PW (Pre-War) Victor, almost as good surface material as “Z”. Likewise laminated PW Columbia pressings (1923-1940) offer similarly fine sound. Vinyl pressings usually provide superb results. Needless to say, top copies of original pressings should provide superb results. * * * Please keep in mind that the minimum bids are in U.S. Dollars, a benefit to many collectors. These figures do not necessarily indicate the “value” of the items but rather the lowest minimum bid I can accept. Some will sell for much more, although bids at any figure you deem appropriate from the minimum on up are welcomed and appreciated.
